Creamy Tomato Soup with Hidden Carrots

Share this post:

Nothing beats the comfort of a bowl of tomato soup. For many of us, we were raised on the canned version. Well, I’m about to convert you to this homemade creamy tomato soup recipe because once you try it you’ll never look back.

I’ll let you in on a little secret – pureed soups are my favorite way to load up on extra servings of vegetables.

This soup is dairy-free, gluten-free, sugar-free and full of fiber. Kids love it too! If you have a picky eater in the house, just omit the toppings or serve them on the side.

Creamy Tomato Soup Health Benefits

CARROTS: Carrots are known to be a good source of fiber, beta carotene, potassium, vitamin K1 and antioxidants (1). Your body converts beta carotene into vitamin A which helps to promote a stronger immune system and better vision (2).

ONION: Onion is a good source of vitamin C and helps to boost immunity and promote heart health.

TOMATOES: Tomatoes are also a great source of vitamin C and a good source of vitamin A and vitamin K. They help to reduce inflammation and promote heart health.

CHICKPEAS: Chickpeas are high in fiber and a good source of protein, iron, magnesium, and phosphorus. They help to promote satiety, weight loss, and blood sugar regulation.
